CAIRO (AFP) - Egypt has said a group of foreigners arrested recentlyincluded French, US, Belgian, Syrian and Tunisian nationals who havelinks to terror groups and were recruiting Islamists for "jihad" in Iraq.

The Egyptian interior ministry said in a statement Monday it had dismantled an underground extremist organisation with links to foreign terror organisations.

French diplomatic sources had confirmed the arrest nearly two weeks ago of French Islamists in Cairo and Alexandria. Nine of them are expected to be flown back to France this week.
I hope we don't try to extradite any terrorists. If an American makes the choice to become a jihadi in Egypt, they should have to face justice in Egypt. The state department should look hard into this case and make sure this is a bona-fide case against these people, then let them rot if they are indeed terrorists. That will get rid of the whole 'geneva conventions' for terrorists bit.

In other news: John Bolton is stepping down when his appointment ends at the U.N. Lots of other bloggers and news agencies are reporting on this one (I've been asleep [heh]) so I'll keep it short. I liked Bolton and told Jeff Sessions ([R] Alabama) in a letter that we needed to get him confirmed. Alas, seems that the dems and Chafee would not give him a vote, so he decided to not work after his job is over.

I'm going to have to go with Ace's reaction over this, since the U.N. won't change no matter who we send, I still advocate jumping ship (while it's burning and not totally underwater). Unlike most leftists, I don't believe that we need a nanny to tell us what to do in the world. Since the U.N. (like almost all Dems) agreed that Iraq had wmd's and that force should be used to make them comply to resolutions, they have all become enamored with 'Bush's war'. Even in the 'make-it-up' history of the NYTimes and AP, it's a hard stretch to call a war that Congress voted for 'Bush's war'. But that is the mindset of the left (including the U.N. and most of Eurabia).

I feel sorry for my daughter and when she has kids. They will get to inherit the mess that the dems leave after this congressional run of subpoenas, trials and do-nothings.
